I remember a couple years back with the obsidian age debacle and the JLA roster chainged significantly for a brief period.
Who would you put in the roster to keep the book selling and keep the DC universe safe at the same time? No cheating by writing the entire JSA roster or Titan Roster.
1. Firestorm
2. The Ray
3. Lobo
4. Triumph (reformed)
5. Jason Blood
6. Black Canary
7. Guy Gardener
8. Zatana

Say that you only had second stringers to fill the JLA Line up....
Marvel's underappreciated characters: The Shroud, The Ringer, Trapster, Blackwing, Darkhawk, Prodigy, Annex, Nightwatch, Force, CPT Ultra, Solo, Pulsar, Sabra, Wonder Man, Speed Demon, Blizzard, Tristam Silver, Taskmaster. Underappreciated X Characters: Gambit, Deadpool, Phantomex, Exodus, Dazzler, Stacy X, DC's underappreciated characters: Azrael, Catman, Jack Knight, Jason Blood, Triumph, The Ray, Richard Dragon, Prometheus, Conner Hawk, Anarchy, Firestorm.

LOL!!! True but just like the Avengers they had to give all those great guys the boot to make JLA top seller so how would you execute making it a top seller with the handicap of second stringers?

Basically, I'd cut the Big Seven and fill out the roster with characters who have some history of carrying a book. Hence:
Green Arrow
Black Canary
Oracle
Hawkman
The Atom
Captain Marvel
Arrow and Canary provide romantic tension, while Hawkman and Arrow provide just plain tension, and Canary and Oracle have a great working relationship. The Atom brings the brains, and Marvel brings the muscle.

I like Gauss' selection a lot. I would probably be more partial to Zatanna over Oracle though and I would throw in Booster Gold for kicks.

Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter, and Orion. That would be a fun read.
